You're going to want to keep that umbrella handy, and bundle up before you head out the door this morning. Cooler temperatures, and more showers are ahead in your Wednesday forecast. Gusty South winds are also returning today. Snow levels will start to drop this morning, and will dip to around 4000' to 5000' tonight. Showers will return to the Northern Mountains early this afternoon, and will then spread through the rest of Northern California late this afternoon into tonight. Temperatures are starting out in the high 40's to mid 50's in the valley this morning, and mountain areas have dipped into the mid 30's to mid 40's overnight. Cloudy skies are ahead for the better part of the day, with showers returning mid to late afternoon in most areas. Sustained winds could reach 20mph out of the South, with gusts to 30mph this afternoon. High temperatures are projected to climb into the low 60's in the valley, and into the mid 40's to low 50's in the mountains. Showers will ramp up tonight, and snow levels will drop to around 4000'.

Showers will diminish across the valley overnight tonight, but will more than likely linger through the middle of your Thursday in the mountains. Snow levels could dip to as low as 2000' on Thursday, but moisture will be extremely limited by that time. Major impacts from low elevation snow are not likely, but are possible on Thursday. Temperatures will be in the same range as today on Thursday, but warmer weather returns for your Friday. Dry and mostly sunny conditions are on tap for the end of your work week, and start of your weekend. Valley areas will end up in the low to mid 70's on Friday into Saturday.

Another chance for showers, and cooler temperatures will then return on Sunday, and last into Monday of next week.
